"I am not sticking my head through there"
————<•>————

We were all stood on a roof. Blinky with a weird horn device pointed at Toby's headgear while Claire and I hold onto a struggling Toby who won't stop moving.

"Toby! Stay still!" I groan as he wiggles his body around.

"Anything yet?" Claire asks as she struggles to hold onto a grunting Toby.

The radio chatter seems to just get louder but all we hear is mumbling. Toby starts to swing his arms around as I grunt and pull his head back roughly.

"Ooh. Wait!" Blinky says as this angle seems to help, Claire and I holding Toby's head back.

"Thirty five. Eleven. Janus Initiative" Blinky mumbles as he listens in with wide eyes.

"Janus initiative" I say with wide eyes as I look towards Claire.

"Great Gronka Morka! Tobias! I believe your headgear is picking up the secret transmissions of the Janus order!" Blinky exclaims excitedly as he throws his arms up on the air.

"Awesome sauce" Toby says in a muffled voice.

The headgear seems to be mumbling more as Claire and I lean our heads in closer, attempting to hear the rest.

"Where two faces meet" Claire says with wide eyes.

"It could be a secret combination" Blinky suggests.

"Or coordinates for a secret hangout" I say excitedly, although no one seems to be listening.

"Or lead to a passage in a book" Claire says with wide eyes.

"Coordinates!" Toby exclaims as I roll my eyes.

"I just said that idiot" I sigh as I softly hit the back of his head.

"It could be an unbreakable cipher" Blinky continues as him and Claire completely ignore Toby and I.

"Or be a lottery ticket" Clare suggests.

"Or coordinates" Toby and I have exclaim, our faces dropping as Claire and Blinky start to walk off a bit as they chat.

"I don't think they'd be lottery tickets Claire" Blinky sighs with a shake of his head.

"Oh Merlin's balls! They're coordinates!" I exclaim loudly, waving my arms around.

"It has to lead to someplace in Arcadia!" Toby exclaims in a muffled voice.

Claire and Blinky just look at eachother with stunned faces, Toby and I sharing a look as we roll our eyes.

————<•>————

We end up following the coordinates, ending up in-front of a travel agency called 'Omni Reach', not someplace you'd think a secret organisation would meet.

"The coordinates lead to this precise location" Blinky says as we stand outside the building.

"A travel agency? Out of everything?" I say confused as I tilt my head.

"These places still exist?" Claire asks as I roll my eyes.

"Of course they exist dumbass" I sigh as I walk towards the door, attempting to open it only for the door to rattle.

"Damn it! It's locked" I sigh as I turn around to face the group.

"Locks are me speciality" NotEnrique cackles as he cracks his knuckles.

He ended up throwing a brick at the lock, the brick smashing the glass as Claire opens the door and beckons us inside.

"Keep quiet" Blinky mumbles to everyone.

We quietly creep inside, the quietness broken as Toby starts to hum and dance around. I smack the back of his head as he grunts and glares at me.

"Zip it" I whisper as I pretend to zip my mouth shut and throw away the key, Toby nodding his head and whacking his headset.

"Scour the room. Look here, here, here and here" Blinky instructs as he uses his arms to point in different directions. "This place might hold a clue to the location of the Janus Order"

NotEnrique and I spot a bookshelf, both of us smirking at eachother as we walk over to it.

"Easiest trick in the book" I say cockily as I lean my hand forward and grab a book, pulling it out only for nothing to happen.

"The secret leaver is obviously behind this one" NotEnrique cackles as he pulls out a book, nothing happening again as I smirk at him.

"Or this one" I say as I grab a book out, again nothing happening.

"This one?" NotEnrique questions as he grabs out another book, still nothing happening.

"Claire? A little help?" I say to her, Claire rolling her eyes and walking over, her and NotEnrique pulling out books as I walk over to Toby who seemed to be trying to put his face through the fetch. Of course it doesn't work as his headgear is too big.

"Still not working?" I ask with a grimace.

"My head won't fit with this thing on" Toby sighs as he gestures for me to grab it.

"I am not sticking my head through there" I grumble as I push the portal away from me.

"Please?" Toby wheezes as I roll my eyes and sigh.

"Ugh, fine" I grumble as I snatch the fetch from Toby and stick my head through.

I look around to see a dark cave, glowing crystals on the wall and overall, no Jim. I sigh and pull my head back out, my surroundings going back to the room we're in.

"It was a dark cave. Happy?" I ask grumpily as I hand him back the fetch.

"Last Nougat Nummy" Toby sighs as he throws the food into the fetch sadly.

I open my mouth to remind Toby that we can always just buy more or throw something else in but the ringing of a phone cuts me off.

We all stand there with stunned faces as we stare at the ringing phone, none of us moving.

"Uh, is someone gonna pick that up?" NotEnrique asks from his place on the bookshelf, a book in his hand as he throws it away.

Blinky slowly makes his way to the phone, hesitantly picking it up and putting the phone to his ear.

"Uh, salutations" Blinky says into the phone as Claire, Toby and I walk closer so we can hear.

"Welcome to Omni Reach Travel. Where would you like to go?" The person on the phone asks as we all gasp.

"Where would you like to go?" The person asks again after getting no response.

Claire hesitantly grabs the phone from Blinky, bringing it up to her ear as she thinks of what to say.

"Where two faces meet?" She asks into the phone hesitantly, the phone only ringing in reply meaning the person hung up on us.

"Rude" I mumble as I lean against the desk.

Before anyone else can comment, the ground starts to heavily shake as we all gasp, Claire latching herself onto my arm as she almost trips over.

"I didn't do it!" NotEnrique says as we all look towards him.

Suddenly the ground beneath us starts to sink lower, the floor seeming to be some kind of platform.

"What are we gonna do? We gotta get outta here!" Toby exclaims in a muffled voice.

"It's too late Toby!" I say as I look around.

"We must face whats before us with courage and, beyond all else, a warriors dignity" Blinky agrees.

The walls suddenly start to show paintings of what looks to be old stories and myths, Toby screaming in shock as he falls backwards onto the ground.

The floor suddenly stops moving as an elevator door is stood in front of us, the door ringing and opening as the intercom lady talks.

"Welcome to the Janus Order" The intercom says.

I grab onto Toby's arm and pull him back up as we look through the door. Lights seem to flick on in a cannon as the middle one seems to be in the shape of an eye.

Toby screams again as I quickly slap my hand onto his mouth, well attempting too as the headgear makes that hard to do.

"Quiet!" NotEnrique hisses.

"The Janus order. The must be one of their bases of operations" Blinky says as he puts his thinking face on, pacing around the elevator. "By Gorgus, we were seeking a trail of breadcrumbs and wandered straight into the bakers oven"

"I got a bad feeling about this" NotEnrique stumbles out in a shaky voice as we all follow Blinky out of the elevator.

"For once, I agree with you" I mumble as I look around the place, Claire and Toby at my side.

"We will have to improvise. The antidote must be in this building. We're in the den of spies, so try to walk lightly. Now fan out!" Blinky says as I look at him with wide eyes.

"Have you ever watched a movie? Never fan out! Stay together!" I whisper quietly as we end up standing between two different ways.

"We'll group off, Toby and Y/n with me, Enrique and Blinky go that way" Claire instructs as we nod our heads and walk our ways.

"Try not to die!" I say to them before following after Claire and Toby.
